HOW WE DO IT
Selecting, planning and executing an implementation project to obtain essential certifications, which attest to compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
Raising awareness, sensitizing and training teams for new demands imposed by customers and new emerging markets.
Certifying compliance, through the presentation of a report, based on work carried out in a professional and impartial manner, using auditing techniques for this purpose.
Using work tools that aim to manage business risks, leveraged on HACCP, SWOT, PESTEL and other analyses.
FORMS OF ACTION
We have developed a consultancy that aims to support companies in identifying the most relevant certifications for their competitiveness in the market. Throughout this process, training and capacity building actions are developed according to the objectives to be achieved.
We conduct audits with the aim of verifying the implementation status of the practices and procedures implemented, in order to implement preventive actions before certification audits.
We assess and monitor the results and correct any deviations identified as a result of the previously carried out audit.
CERTIFICATION PROCESS
The certification process can be quite simple or a serious problem if not taken seriously. In general, it follows the steps in the following scheme, with QSCONSULT intervening at all levels.
CONSULTING/IMPLEMENTATION
The purpose of implementation is to create methodologies to meet the requirements of the adopted standards.
This is a very variable process depending on the number of workers, involvement of top management and the rest of the team.
Average implementation period is usually less than one year, and may vary depending on variables.
It always involves training actions for workers and management positions.
We work with several references, including:
Quality (ISO 9001)
Food safety - HACCP, FSSC 22000, IFS, BRC / BRCGS, MSC, GMP+, GlobalGap, IFS logistics, IFS HPC, IFS PacSecure, BRC Packaging, etc.
Environment - ISO14001
Occupational Safety - ISO 45001 | N P 4413 - Maintenance of Fire Extinguishers
Information Security - ISO 50001 | GDPR
social - Balancing professional, personal and family life - NP4552
Pest Control - NP EN 16636 (CEPA)
AUDITS
This is a process of verifying the degree of implementation of the requirements according to the selected standard. Most of the time, the process takes 1 to 2 days, but it can sometimes take longer, depending on the number of processes, area implemented, number of non-conformities, number of workers, number of sites, etc.
At the end, a deviation report is issued and it is the organization's responsibility to take the necessary actions.
It involves a report with the deviations detected.
TRAINING
The training provided by QSCONSULT is tailor-made. It is exclusively aimed at enhancing knowledge within the implemented standards and if it is a client's need, we provide DGERT certificates from the partner companies we work with.
